X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~257^2~12

kbuild: whitelist references from variables named _timer to .init.text

arm uses a lot of ops structures named *_timer that has legitimite
references to .init.text.
So let's add this variable to the list of variables that may reference
.init.text without causing any warning.
